We did not play with common sense: Kohli

Bangalore had a Super Over scare against Delhi before emerging victorious to register their fourth win of the tournament. After Delhi posted a total of 152/5, Bangalore were cruising at one stage with Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers having put on a century stand. However, the hosts lost wickets in a heap and could only manage to equal Delhi score.

Skipper Kohli, who was the Man of the Match for his fine knock of 65, said Bangalore had themselves to blame to let the game go to the Super over. He said common sense did not prevail after the dismissal of de Villiers, which could have cost his team the game.

"It was the 4th last ball finish for us. We did not deserve to be in that situation honestly. Great fight from Delhi and great effort from de Villiers as well to get us back. We did not have some common sense after de Villiers' dismissal. That cost us the last game as well," Kohli said after the match.

In the one over eliminator, Bangalore managed to score 15 runs thanks to two huge sixes by AB de Villiers before Ravi Rampaul bowled a fine over, restricting Delhi to eleven runs while picking up two wickets.

Kohli said Rampaul showed great character by bowling a tight over and the skipper said he was pumped up, playing in front of the Bangalore crowd.

"Ravi showed great character today. It was a brilliant effort from the bowlers. I love playing in front of the Bangalore crowd. They pump me up a lot and I love winning games for them."

With this loss, Delhi tasted their fifth consecutive defeat but according to skipper Mahela Jayawardene his side showed a lot of spirit by fighting.

"With four overs to go, I thought that we were not getting there. A couple of wickets turned it around. Even in the Super Over we did well in the first 4 balls. We need to keep our heads up and keep fighting."

Mahela urged his team to stay calm under pressure, saying said his side could have had better results had they handled the crucial situations better.

"The spirits are really high. The guys are fighting hard. We need to handle the crucial situations better. We should try and make calm decisions out in the middle."
